    I suppose these later 2.4 kernels will get a good number of downloads, due to the early version of the kernel shipped w/ Red Hat 7.2 (and the fact that they finally got ext3 into the main kernel tree). At least I'm semi-restlessly waiting for a kernel to settle on, to get that new "better" VM.

    What's with you fucking nerds who take first year Japanese and think you can speak the language? You know enough to pick up a hot young number in Roppongi (well, *any* gaijin can accomplish that neat trick, so what does that tell you?) but don't you DARE bastardize the language with a lame .sig file.

    The majority of niggers are Catholic.

    Ofcourse, these are mainly the happy African niggers who were lucky enough to not be sold to the evil USA as slaves.

    The unfortunate American ex-slave niggers are mainly protestant. Poor them. I bet they'd love to live in Africa and become Catholic.

I'm sure they're just great if you can ignore the crazy talk about "toxic bowel" and the reccomendation that you have 2-3 bowl movements per DAY... http://www.grandmasherbs.com/remedies/ProductDetai ls.cfm?Product=40 says that it's not habit forming - so those of you concerned about getting addicted to laxatives can reast easy.

    The varable Xloc has been renamed to xloc for ease of typing some future code.

    And this will posted as a major section on slashdot because it is a new kernel version. Latly Slashdot has become more and more of the Linux Kernel of the week club. Is it really that nessary to post an article on the new kernel every time! Yea linux is great How about just posting when 2.6 is released or a message about a really cool feature in the new kernel version. Posting every kernel version is just like posting every bug fix the Microsoft does. I have posted articles in the past that were rejected that were far more interesting then a kernel release but it was rejected. I dont want to flame but is really anoying. And dont say if you dont like the article then dont read it. That is the same excuse that spammers use.
